Why does my Ford Focus not detect the key?
Years 2018-2025

Answer

If your Ford Focus does not recognize your key and you are outside, the battery is probably dead. You can replace it with a new CR 2032 button cell battery. If you have managed to get into the car but the car does not start, try closing and then reopening the doors from the inside. Now press the Start button. The engine will start.
